So any guesses when we're getting the final design of this one?

No but it is the last really big mistery in the creature pool. So it has my interest. But I would say. Late may, early June. if we would fallow the stronghold guideline.

I don't mind the idea of a puppet for the Faceless, but this creature should not take up a space in the Dungeon ranks, particularly not at the cost of essential creatures like Medusa, Manticore and (duh!) Faceless!? I mean, why is this creature present in the two line-ups that DO NOT have Faceless in them?? It doesn't make sense!!

I wouldn't mind if this was a neutral creature that could be summoned by the Faceless, similar to how Devils in H4 could summon Ice Demons, but as an individual creature ... NO!

Oh no! How have i missed this... The Striders are some sort of insectoids?!  That doesnt fit the Dungeon at all

Dungeon has been my favorite faction for ages so im really disappointed to hear that the usual line up of nice and cool creatures is being ruined by adding some insect it in! Insects dont belong in caves. They belong outside so they can crawl in mud and filth and then try to fly in your hair...

Insects are disgusting and thats all there is to it I really hope this doesnt mean that i have to nope myself from playing the faction So gross!

While I'm glad we have Minotaur and Medusa, Manticore was left out just as Unicorn. Officially, the community asked for this.

I wish they replaced it with Manticore or Faceless.

We can wish all we want, things are highly unlikely to change. But this is old topic, we already had plenty discussions about the votings, about creature lineups, IIRC most people disagreed with the voting system. Problem is creatures should come first, then lore and gameplay are adjusted. I mean, we want to enjoy the creatures we are playing with don't we?

Well some new creatures are nice. It depends how it is going to look. Animated Option A: Humanoid animated armor? No thanks!
Option B: A tripod-like thing similar to War of the worlds, or other surreal inspirations.. could be nice...
Option C: A thing too much resembling a real insect? Damn you UBI Damn YOU!

Well, they put them into factions that are supposed to be dark and dreadful, inciting fear and disgust.

Yeah im also not opposing the thought of having new creatures and line ups, but they just have to be made properly. Manticore or some  shadow monster would have been nice, but insects... im not comfortable with that

Sligneris said:

I would say they have succeeded. Im already pretty disgusted and terrified... the spiders in Necropolis alone were already enough for that.

Well ... yes... that's what I was insinuating

They also put them in AI and coding ... They are the most powerfull creatures in Ashan. They work best with "rush now, think later" zerg strategy of game development

Anyways on topic ... Yea striders. First I'll have to see them, to decide if they look cool, then I would have to know what they do, to know if they actualy ARE cool, and only after playing, I would be able to decide about: Yay or Nay.

If they look to much like aliens, they might feel out of place. But then again ... their design could be so out of place, that it actualy makes them awsome.

They should have put lots of time in its design. It's one of the few NEW creatures in this game that isn't based on a past creature. For the small amount of new things I'd hope they put a little effort into them. Personally I thought a chimera would have fit dungeon nicely.

Bug golem in dungeon, deer and forest spirit in sylvan. They suck at coming up with original ideas lol.

I find it prety ironic, this new creature is a giant bug

ok ok ok ... I'll stop.

Deer for sylvan isn't bad ... I would put forrest spider in there instead...
